Plus King Richard M'Boute or whatever his name is and Ilyasova are hurt (or didn't play).

Ilyasova - offensive player. a bit undersized at the 4. Not particularly keen on D, is he? Roughly 6'9
Mbah Moute - defensive player. Not much offense. Undersized 4. Roughly 6'9
Udoh - defensive player. Roughly 6'9
Tobias Harris - watched him thrice, has never seemed good. Roughly 6'8-6'9
Muppet henson - 6'11, defensive minded.
Kareem Abdul Sanders - 6'10-ish. Defensive minded.

Derrick Williams for Larry Jabbar or Udoh.

He should get into shape on his own time, or better yet, come into the season already in shape! Novel idea, I know. He breaks his hand by punching a fridge and somehow that is a legit reason to be out of shape.

Pek had foot surgery during the offseason, still managed to drop like 25 lbs, and beats Love down the court on every possession despite being a massive human being.

Meanwhile Love is huffing and puffing his way up and down the court jacking up bad shots on every possession during a close game.

You forgot about Dalembert and Vanilla Gorilla. 2 more shot blockers/defenders with no offensive game to speak of. I didn't count Harris because he plays SF almost exclusively. So pretty much Ilyasova is the only guy who brings something different.

Lee normally doesn't play long without a knee or groin issue, so not sure if he is the best test case for our training staff. But you are probably right that it wouldn't happen if he had the Phoenix staff! Howl for the theft idea!

Beasley missed games in Minnesota. Really struggled to get his ankle back ready to play once hurt. Those days are probably behind him in Phoenix!

Bucks announcers were surprised Ilyasova didn't play, so they didn't know of any injury.

Lets just say Tod Murphy was not surprised. After finishing ahead of the Peksecutioner in the MIP voting, Ilyasova knew it was best not to step foot on the same court.

Hey, did anybody notice this from being at the game or from the Wolves broadcast? I watched the live Bucks broadcast on League Pass.

We hit our normal second half drought. Something like 0 for 9 shooting stretch. It happened quickly while going up court, but I thought Adelman yelled for Shved to take over the playmaking. Basically, tide turned and game over after that, both with him scoring plus getting some other guys shots.

3 things to celebrate going into the weekend.

1. Wolves win!

2. Rubio starts practicing tomorrow!!

3. Andrei Kirilenko missed a second consecutive game with back spasms. He expects to be back in the lineup on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

I'm all in for Shved! his impact reminds me of Rubio last year.

starting from the bench , taking over and playing the 4 quarters and most important being effective in that stretch!

if the 2 get along will be so great watching this team

I am with you on points 1,2, and yes even 3. If Williams can consistently give that kind of effort and concentration I am fine with him playing. Although he still feels the need to jack up a shot every single time he catches the ball with open space.

How about the Vanilla Gorilla cameo appearance!!! And fouling them himself right after his missed in order to get himself back out of the game? How noble!

Kind of a subpar game from a fan in the stands point of view as far as general lack of exciting play or crowd fervor. Although the K. Love coat drive spots are hilarous. And seeing Shved do Shved-like things live causes giddyness. Love that guy.

And I am totally with Roundhouse on the K. Love conditioning thing. "Game shape" could have possibly been relevant in the 1st 3 games in 4 nights, but not since then. You would've thought he'd be getting in great shape since he couldn't shoot or dribble. Disappointing.

Also, the Bucks HAVE to be the skinniest team in the league. They are a bunch of Brewer's out there.

Nice to see a win, we needed that one. So who played well for us? Looks like Pek had nice stats and sounds like SHVED was the man?

It is a disgrace that K-Lav is out of shape still. So much for him being the franchise guy.

On the bright side, at least he doesn't look like this:



Bahahahaha

Props to the New York Post for the hilarious headline.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA hilarious!!!

Huge Howl for that!

Let's keep working on Daddy's idea to steal someone from the Phoenix training staff. In the meantime, the Wolves are apparently copying an idea from Dallas:
